This Wednesday, DECA is getting together with the newly-formed Gerrard East Community Organization (GECO) to eat, drink and be inspired. We’re hosting a chat with Marcus Westbury of Renew Newcastle. Marcus led the revitalization of a down and out commercial strip in Newcastle, Australia with innovative and creative ideas. He’s going to tell us how he did it and what we can learn from him.
